If you listen to Barrett Strong’s 1959 hit single “Money (That’s What I Want)” - you’ll hear these famously covered lyrics: The best things in life are free/ but you can give them to the birds and bees/ I want money.
Call this materialistic. Call it superficial. Whatever. The people who say “money can’t buy happiness” are full of shit. Having money can and should make everything easier - it’s all about how you use it. The root of unhappiness is people not making the most out of what they have.
